"Dawn Island Television, Dawn Island Television, broadcasting the midday news. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm the host of this program, Ye Luo."

"This morning, Commander-in-Chief of the Dawn Army, Ye Fan, attended the opening ceremony of Dawn Island Xinglian Mobile Company and officially announced that the Dawn Army has restored fixed telephone calls across the entire island."

"Xinglian Mobile Company states that within one month, it will restore fixed lines within a radius of 3,000 square kilometers and within three months, restore calls with Dawn City, and officially launch the new generation of mobile phones."

"Commander Ye Fan states that Xinglian's move is beneficial for communication in the apocalypse, solving one of the most important issues, and is a milestone achievement."

"Chief of Staff Zhongjing of the Dawn Army's staff department met with representatives of Shanshen Country, who said they are irreconcilable with South Shanshen Country."

"Last night, there was a prison break at Dawn Island's Senluo Prison. Hundreds of militants launched a night raid but faced strong resistance from the prison guards. The entire conflict lasted about twenty minutes, with the Dawn Army eliminating more than eighty militants and injuring over twenty attempting to escape. The opposing side's operation was thoroughly disrupted."

"Here, the warden of Senluo Prison, Zhao Laishun, stated that any provocations against the prison are unforgivable. All those who attempted to participate in the escape will be severely punished."

Zheng Jinnan personally turned off the TV, lit a cigarette, and took a heavy drag.

Beside him, James also took a puff, his face full of distress.

"Failed." Zheng Jinnan seemed to be asking and also talking to himself.

James nodded: "Failed. This operation was meticulously planned; we even obtained the exact location of the target, infiltrated their purchasing vehicles, sent weapons inside, agreed on time and signals, determined the changing of the guards, and acted in the latter half of the night. Yet, it was a failure, with no room for struggle."

Zheng Jinnan showed a bitter smile: "Otherwise, maybe we shouldn't attempt a rescue."

"Absolutely not. The people we need to rescue are crucial, each one a key figure and elite. It's precisely because of this that Ye Fan is holding them back, but no matter the cost, they must be saved."

Zheng Jinnan asked in return: "But how to rescue them? Senluo Prison is a treacherous place, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with the ocean below, only one road up the mountain, heavily guarded. The warden, loyal to the Dawn Army and a firm follower of Ye Fan, is stubborn and incorruptible. What can we do?"

James was equally at a loss. If he could find a good solution, he wouldn't have failed several times already.

As the two silently smoked, trying to come up with ideas, Chu Yuan, the former Commander of the First Fleet and Zheng Jinnan's adopted son, spoke.

"Father, may I offer a suggestion?"

Zheng Jinnan glanced at his adopted son and nodded slightly.

Since the First Fleet was attacked by the Dawn Army, Chu Yuan had been a bit down. However, he soon adjusted himself and rallied, now focusing on rebuilding the First Fleet with determination to seek revenge against the Dawn Army.

Zheng Jinnan admired his adopted son, hoping he could accomplish great things, so he wanted to see what ideas he could come up with.

Encouraged by his father's expression, Chu Yuan immediately perked up.

"Father, Mr. James, I think we can take a different route. The Dawn Army has now firmly established its footing on the island, making both a direct attack and a surprise action difficult to succeed."

"Although I know saying this might dampen our spirits, this is how I currently feel. After all, everyone saw the broadcast of their defeat of the Corpse King a few days ago. Honestly, until the First Fleet is rebuilt, or until the White Eagle Country's reinforcements arrive, I don't think we have much chance of winning."

Zheng Jinnan and James nodded lightly. They were also concerned by Ye Fan's strength; otherwise, they wouldn't be sitting here in such distress.

Chu Yuan continued: "Although our strength is somewhat lacking, we can leverage external forces."

"How to leverage? Whose force to leverage?" James asked.

Chu Yuan smiled: "You, Dawn Island is at Jiangkou, eastward is the sea, and the entire eastern region, except for some rocky mountains around Senluo Prison and the villa area, is mostly flat beach. These beaches are often infested with Ocean Mutant Beasts, turning this area into a no-man's land."

Zheng Jinnan nodded: "We know that; it's a long-standing issue. Even now that Ye Fan is in charge, it hasn't improved much. But why mention this?"

"Father, I think perhaps we can attract Ocean Giant BeastS to the beach and lure them deeper into the island. This way, the Dawn Army would have no choice but to deploy substantial forces to counter the beast invasion, turning Senluo Prison into an isolated island. At that point, our chances of success would significantly increase."

Upon hearing Chu Yuan's words, their eyes lit up.

James excitedly clapped: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? If we lure the Ocean Giant Beasts ashore, Dawn Island would descend into chaos. These beasts might even destroy the entire island. Haha! Hopefully, it wipes out the island! No matter how formidable Ye Fan is, he can't possibly withstand the Ocean Giant Beasts; this time he's doomed!"

Zheng Jinnan remained calmer and asked solemnly: "But do you think the beasts, upon landing, will threaten those inside the prison? If they invade, the people inside are surely doomed."

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Absolutely not. The prison is hundreds of meters high; the beasts can't reach it. Plus, we can specifically bypass this area when attracting the monsters and focus our forces on landing there, coordinating from within and outside to create an opportunity for escape."

Zheng Jinnan considered further: "Your idea is creative, but many details need careful thought, such as how to bring people out from there and how to attract the beasts. Have you considered these?"

James immediately spoke: "That's easy, Senluo Prison has a runway; we can take off directly by plane. As for attracting the beasts, we'll have to make a significant investment this time, finding people who don't fear death to board ships and cars filled with large quantities of flesh, navigating the ocean while scattering the meat to lure the Ocean Giant Beasts ashore."

"Then continue to attract the ocean giant beasts with the vehicles, leading them inland."

"We don't need to lure them too far, just about five hundred meters, and the Dawn Army will have no choice but to come out and confront. When to stop will be beyond their control."

Listening to James' explanation, Zheng Jinnan nodded repeatedly.

It must be said, James' idea is very commendable and quite feasible.

If executed well, this plan might not completely wipe out the Dawn Army, but at least cripple them significantly. Many people know a bit about the terror of ocean giant beasts.

Zheng Jinnan nearly agreed with this strategy immediately.

Does Ye Fan think guarding the island keeps him safe from the zombie threat?

He's mistaken; ocean giant beasts are more terrifying than zombies.

When the island is ravaged by countless giant beasts, he will realize how foolish it was to choose this location.

"Just follow Chu Yuan's instructions. It's not the right time for a direct assault, let's use this method to weaken Ye Fan first. However, the specific actions need careful planning, and absolutely no mistakes can occur; all aspects must be considered."

The group immediately began a detailed discussion on the feasibility of this plan.

.......

Ye Fan sat in his office, fiddling with the newly installed telephone.

This was created by the engineers, thanks to Wanguo Island's solid infrastructure, allowing them to produce telephones faster than Dawn City.

With a landline, communication is easier, but Ye Fan still looks forward to mobile phones.

The phone rang; the troops fighting zombies sent good news.

They captured a jewelry store in Kaiyuan County, and were on the way back with funds.

The county has seven or eight jewelry stores; capturing them all could replenish about twenty million in funds.

With the troops' collection, it should be around twenty-five million. This is mainly because fighting zombies now involves aircraft cannons, destroying many pieces of jewelry, making collection less precise than before.

As for how to use these funds, Ye Fan hasn't decided.

He could establish the Third Field Brigade, but it feels rushed; something might happen, he senses.

Thus, he decided to hold onto the money for now, observe the situation, and assess further. With money in hand, Ye Fan is invincible."

After a while, the vehicle delivering funds returned, and Ye Fan casually converted them, increasing the funds by over three million.

At that moment, a system alert sounded.

"Attention Commander, our spies entered enemy military base, acquiring new technology: Self-destruct Truck."

"After system processing, the self-destruct truck has the same power as the one in the supply crate the commander obtained, equivalent to a small nuclear bomb."

"To produce the self-destruct truck, one raw material is missing: low-grade uranium. Commander, please collect it quickly."

Upon hearing about acquiring this technology, Ye Fan was delighted.

For crucial member ransom, Ye Fan prepared extensively.

Infiltrating spies among them was the most crucial part.

The Babylon Empire's self-destruct truck is a special unit in the game Red Alert.

Ye Fan vividly remembers its power; one truck eliminated over sixty thousand zombies directly."

If distance controlled well, one truck could eliminate a hundred thousand zombies without issue.

To acquire this weapon, Ye Fan presses forward, because it's just low-grade uranium, just gather it."

This material is mainly for nuclear power plants; Ye Fan knows there's a nuclear power plant in the mountain area of Dabeishan, west of Dawn Island.

Ye Fan immediately issued orders for a battalion to set out, striving to bring back the low-grade uranium swiftly.
